Lisa A. Lindsay

by Bonnie Goodman

"One of the best professors I've had. Amazing person and truly loves the material she teaches. Sparkling personality and enthusiasm makes subject matter come alive. Teaches clearly and will readily answer questions on the spot if you are confused. Take her classes!".

Christopher E. Forth

by Bonnie Goodman

"Forth's ambitious panoramic history of western masculinity is sweepingly broad, yet Forth has a keen eye for the revealing detail. With an analysis as sharp as his style is clear and erudite, Forth's reach never exceeds his grasp. This is a most impressive work!"

Jonathan Sheehan

by Bonnie Goodman

"This lively, elegant and erudite book sheds new light on intellectual relations between eighteenth-century Germany and England. The book will have much to offer historians of the early-modern period, as well as historians of science, literary critics, and theologians." -- Anthony Grafton, Princeton University reviewing "The Enlightenment Bible"

Greg Grandin

by Bonnie Goodman

"A remarkable tour de force. It is one of the glories of American democracy that North Carolina is home to both Jesse Helms and the Duke University Press. This book describes a Latin America about as far away from the senator's conception of the place as can be imagined. Grandin, who worked with the Guatemalan Truth Commission in 1997-98, displays a powerful narrative style -- touching on nationalism, state power, class and caste divisions, ethnic identity, and political violence." -- Kenneth Maxwell, reviewing Blood of Guatemala, in Foreign Affairs

Marci Lynn Shore

by Bonnie Goodman

"Marci Shore's account of the founding generation of Polish intellectual Communists reaches far beyond its subject. In its deeply engaged narrative of the lives and illusions of the twentieth-century Polish avant-garde, Caviar and Ashes recovers a fascinating, talented community of men, women and ideas now rapidly receding beyond memory. Professor Shore's history of Polish Marxists is not just an impressive work of historical scholarship; it is a moving elegy to a turbulent century and a forgotten world." -- Tony Judt, author of Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 reviewing "Caviar and Ashes"

Jason M. Opal

by Bonnie Goodman

"Professor Opal is one of the best professors at Colby. He is intelligent, compassionate, fair, challenging, interesting, bold and cultured. I could not respect him any more than I do."

Tiya Alicia Miles

by Bonnie Goodman

"Ties That Bind is a haunting and innovative book. Tiya Miles refuses to avoid or cover over the most painful aspects of the shared stories of Indians and African Americans. Instead, Miles passionately defends the need to explore history, even when the facts provided by history are not those that contemporary people want to hear." -- Peggy Pascoe, author of Relations of Rescue: The Search for Female Moral Authority in the American West, 1874-1939 reviewing "Ties That Bind"

Heather Cox Richardson

by Bonnie Goodman

Thomas J. Sugrue

by Bonnie Goodman

"A splendid book that does no less than transform our understanding of United States history after 1940"

Yanek Mieczkowski

by Bonnie Goodman

"By a masterful analysis, Mieczkowski shows how Ford restored credibility to government and promoted amicable relations with Congres."

Bruce J. Schulman

by Bonnie Goodman

"Prof. Schulman is the best professor I have had at BU. He is so passionate about History and teaching. His use of multimedia during his lectures not only makes the class interesting but provides tangible examples."

Henry Yu

Michael Willrich

by Bonnie Goodman

"Michael Willrich shares with Fyodor Dostoevsky and Theodore Dreiser an absorbing interest in the ancient riddle of whether crime should be reckoned as an individual or a social failing."

Dylan Penningroth

by Bonnie Goodman

"Penningroth is awesome and he knows his history."

W. Fitzhugh Brundage

Brian Cowan

by Bonnie Goodman

"Prof. Cowan is a wonderful addition to McGill's hist. dept. He clearly puts a lot of prep into his lectures, and succeeds in making them very interesting."
